For Love Or Money

For love or money
  Mara told her mummy
I'll sell my soul 
  for purest gold

Her mummy shivered
  What have I raised
Mum well understood
  This was no phase

Sure enough
  Wedding bells soon rang
Jewels and gems in Mara's eyes ~
  Bill of Divorcement in hand

So which costs more - the wedding or the divorce?
